Title: Improvements in and relating to Blind Stitching and Overseaming Attachments for Sewing Machines.
Filed: 1901-01-22
Granted: 1902-01-16
Abstract: 1463. Moore, J. C., and Patent Sewing Machine Attachments Purchase Syndicate. Jan. 22. Blind-stitching machines; overedge-stitching machines; presser-feet; attachments, securing.-Relates especially to attachments described in Specifications No. 24,596, A.D. 1897, No. 7440, A.D. 1898, and No. 22,768, A.D. 1900. The elbow lever by which the pusher is operated has an adjustable arm consisting of a part 5 sliding between cheeks 4. A slot 11 in the inner end of the part 5 engages a pin 12, and a screw 9 capable of adjustment in slots 13 in the cheeks 4 engages a slot 10 in the part 5. The presser-foot is fitted with a sliding plate 15, the underside of which is shown in Fig. 3. This plate is recessed at 18 to receive the cloth pushed aside by the pusher, but its recess is smaller than the corresponding recess in the presser foot. A spring 20 holds the plate 15 towards the pusher. By means of this plate and spring, the size of the recess is automatically adjusted to suit the thickness of the goods. The plate 15 may also be adjusted by hand by means of a screw. An adjustable clip 24 on the presser-bar engages a pin on the plate, to assist in keeping the attachment in place.

Title: An Improved Device for Equalising the Movement of Horizontally Disposed Doors or the like.
Inventor: OUSEY GEORGE RYDER
Filed: 1901-03-12
Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 5245. Ousey, G. R., [Globe Wernicke Co.]. March 12. Bookcases. -Relates to a door suitable for bookcases &c., which can be brought from a vertical to a horizontal position and then be pushed in the case over the books &c. Fig. 2 shows a plan of the case and Fig. 5 an underside view of the fittings 3, Fig. 2. Arms 5 having pinions 7, gearing together, are pivoted to the horizontal flange 3 of an anglepiece, the vertical flange 4 of which is secured to the back of the case. Springs 8 are secured to the arms 5 and to a staple 9. The outer ends of the arms are connected by rods 11 to the door, as shown in Fig. 2. When the door is brought to the horizontal, the springs 8 cause it to be pulled in ; at first they only exert a slight action on it, but this diminishes to very little when the door is completely home. The action of the gearing and the rods 11 is to keep the door away from both ends of the frame and prevent jamming, whether the door is pushed or pulled at the centre or ends.

Granted: 1903-02-19
Abstract: 6792. Bailey, J. March 20. Tufting-machines; needle-driving; feed; threadcutters; needles.-A tufting-machine for use in making mats, hearthrugs, and the like, has a vertically-reciprocating frame or bar H carrying a series of needles M for passing the twisted woollen or other pile yarns C through a canvas or other backing Q. The frame or bar H is actuated by means of a cam J, which may be one of a series having different throws. The yarns C are drawn by the needles from bobbins B mounted on a frame A. A horizontally-reciprocating and verticallymovable knife S for cutting the pile loops is mounted in guides beneath a fixed reed or grating G, and may be actuated by means of a cam W on the shaft I. After the pile loops have been formed by means of the needles, the knife is inserted in the loops and then pressed downwards, so as to tighten the loops, by hooked fingers F, which are carried by an oscillating shaft 7 actuated by means of a cam 11. The knife is then withdrawn so as to cut the loops. Hones or stones for sharpening purposes are mounted in a carrier, which is pressed towards the knife by springs. The fabric is held down during the formation of the pile by a weighted bar carrying a series of pins h and attached to the frame or bar H, and, if desired, a second weighted bar R may be used. The take-up roller 16 is actuated by a ratchet-wheel 28 and pawl 22 carried by a lever 21 which is oscillated by means of a cam 18. The ends of the pile may be cropped by a machine of the usual kind, and the pile may be further secured to the backing by means of a solution of glue, size, dextrin, or the like.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Transmitting Power to Sewing and other Machines
Inventor: MCHAFFIE WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-12-19
Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 28,097. McHaffie, W. Dec. 19. Sewing-machines, driving ; stopping-gear.- Relates to means for transmitting power to sewing - machines, described in Specification No. 11,583, A.D. 1900, and consists chiefly in the provision of outside bearings and guards for the adjustable friction discs. The bearings 9 are adjustable in the frame 6 and have extensions 12, forming hoods or guards for the discs 20, 21, and carrying outer bearings 14. The hoods 12 carry adjustable sliding parts 15, which can be drawn back to give access to the discs for the purpose of adjusting them on the shaft. The pin 22 on which the frame 6 is pivoted, is adjustable to right or left in a plate 23 by nuts 24, the plate 23 being clamped to a bracket 25 by a bolt passing through a horizontal slot in the plate 23 and a vertical slot in the bracket 25. The pin 22 is thus adjustable in all directions. Between the plate 23 and bracket 25 is interposed a plate 29 having vertical and horizontal lips to embrace the bracket and plate respectively, and thus prevent the plate 23 from turning. The parts are preferably so adjusted that the contact between the disc 21 and the disc on the power shaft takes place before the contact between the other pair of discs. The discs are forced into contact by a cam-arm 32 acting on a friction roll on the frame 6, and operated by a treadle &c. When the treadle is released, a spring 38 returns the arm 32, and applies a brake 41 to the disc 3 of the sewing- machine.
